BAISL Spring 25 Meeting

in Upper School Curriculum

As usual, this last BAISL meeting was informative and inspiring.

Something to look into for next year: UC Berkeley Summer Institute for teachers/librarians; one BAISL member received a grant from the UC Berkeley Institute of East Asian Studies to explore Mongolian history through the British Library, which he uses to inform his high school curriculum

Fun idea: use Library monitor for student book reviews as rotating screensaver; book reviews can be written casually at recess or formally in-class, artwork is a plus

Session on Tabletop Role Playing Games (TTRPG):

This may be especially timely given the introduction of next year’s schedule with built-in time for clubs

Excellent vehicle for SEL-conflict resolution, problem solving, learning about history, etc.
Do not start with D&D and Pathfinder (expensive, huge learning curve)
Games to consider: IPR, Deernicorn, Exalted Funeral, PlusOneExp, Knave of Cups, Spear WItch (first two offer specific information on how to incorporate into library spaces)
Libraries can consider creating a TTRPG shelf
